[0013] Furthermore, the drive assembly also includes: a drive box cover, which is disposed on the drive box body. The drive box cover is provided with an upper limit pin, and the moving block is provided with an upper limit groove with the slot facing upward. The upper limit pin is inserted into the upper limit groove to limit the moving baffle. The lower limit groove extends along the movement direction of the moving baffle.

[0014] Furthermore, positioning buckles and positioning pins are respectively provided on the opposite side walls of the filter assembly, and positioning holes and positioning bosses are respectively provided on the opposite sides of the air inlet. The positioning pins are inserted into the positioning holes, and the positioning buckles are locked onto the positioning bosses.

[0015] Furthermore, the free end of the positioning boss extends toward the inner side of the air inlet panel body; and / or a mounting boss is designed at the air inlet, with positioning holes set on the mounting boss, and the free end of the mounting boss extends toward the outer side of the air inlet panel body.

[0039] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0040] refer to Figures 1 to 12 This invention provides an air inlet panel structure 10. The air inlet panel structure 10 includes an air inlet panel body 100, multiple filter assemblies 200, and multiple movable baffles 300. The air inlet panel body 100 has multiple air inlets 110. Each filter assembly 200 is disposed at a corresponding air inlet 110. Each movable baffle 300 is movably disposed at a corresponding air inlet 110 and located outside the corresponding filter assembly 200 to block or avoid that filter assembly 200.

[0041] This invention features multiple air inlets 110 on the air inlet panel, with corresponding filter assemblies 200 positioned at each inlet 110. A movable baffle 300 is provided on the outer side of the filter assembly 200, allowing the baffle to either block or avoid the filter assembly 200. When the baffle blocks the filter assembly 200, it is concealed within the air inlet panel and cannot be seen from the environment, preventing dust accumulation. Conversely, when the baffle avoids the filter assembly 200, it becomes visible. This invention utilizes the movable baffle 300 to both block and avoid the filter assembly 200, ensuring normal airflow to the air conditioner while solving the problem of dust accumulation on filters in existing air conditioners.

[0042] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an embodiment of the air inlet panel according to the present invention is shown. See also Figure 1 The air inlet panel structure 10 also includes multiple drive components. Each drive component is configured to correspond one-to-one with a multiple moving baffle 300, and each drive component is driven to open or close the air inlet 110 by driving the corresponding moving baffle 300.

[0043] See Figure 1 The drive assembly includes a drive gear 410. A motion rack 310 is provided on the motion baffle 300, and the drive gear 410 meshes with the motion rack 310 to drive the motion baffle 300 to move.

[0044] See Figure 1The moving rack 310 is disposed on the inner wall surface of the moving baffle 300, and / or the moving rack 310 extends along the width direction of the moving baffle 300.

[0045] In some embodiments, the length direction of the moving baffle 300 is parallel to the length direction of the air inlet panel body 100.

[0046] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a structure of an embodiment of the movable baffle 300 of the air inlet panel according to the present invention is shown. Figure 6 It shows Figure 5 A cross-sectional view of section AA of the central air intake panel. Figure 7 It shows Figure 6 Enlarged view of part C of the center air intake panel. See also Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The air inlet panel structure 10 also includes multiple moving slide rail components 500. These multiple moving slide rail components 500 are disposed on the air inlet panel body 100, and each of them corresponds to a multiple moving baffle 300. Each moving baffle 300 is provided with a sliding head 320, which is slidably mounted within the slide rail 510 of the corresponding moving slide rail component 500. The extending direction of the moving rack 310 on each moving baffle 300 is parallel to the extending direction of the slide rail 510 of the corresponding moving slide rail component 500.

[0047] See Figure 1 and Figure 6 The moving baffle 300 is provided with a moving rack 310 and a sliding head 320 at opposite ends.

[0048] See Figure 7 The sliding head 320 includes multiple latches, which are spaced apart. Each latch has an elastic arm 322 for connecting with the motion baffle 300 and a locking head 323 for engaging into the corresponding slide groove 510. The inner side of the motion baffle 300 is provided with a protrusion 330 extending toward the inner side of the air inlet panel body 100, and the sliding head 320 is disposed on the protrusion 330.

[0049] In some embodiments, the sliding head 320 adopts a mushroom head structure, which can also be regarded as a double-clamping structure. If the bottom of the moving baffle 300 or the slide groove 510 is severely deformed, the clamping head 323 at the lower end of the moving baffle 300 will come into strong contact with the wall of the slide groove 510. The clamping head 323 is squeezed, and the elastic arms 322 on both sides will deform towards the middle to prevent the moving baffle 300 from getting stuck due to deformation of the moving baffle 300 or the slide groove 510. Moreover, the mushroom head structure can move according to the shape of the slide groove 510, which can further correct the movement trajectory of the clamping head 323 in the slide groove 510, making its movement trajectory closer to a circle. At the same time, the moving baffle 300 achieves the upper and lower limits through the cooperation of the moving block 340 and the drive component. Therefore, the moving baffle 300 only needs the meshing of its moving rack 310 with the drive gear 410 of the drive component to achieve blocking and avoidance at the air inlet 110.

[0050] The air intake panel is shown Figure 5 Sectional view at point BB. Figure 9 It shows Figure 8 A magnified view of a portion D of the central air intake panel shows the drive assembly, including the drive housing body 420. (See also...) Figure 8 and Figure 9 The drive box body 420 has a lower limit pin 421, and the motion baffle 300 is provided with a motion block 340. The motion block 340 is provided with a lower limit groove with the slot facing downward. The lower limit pin 421 is inserted into the lower limit groove to limit the motion baffle 300.

[0051] In some embodiments, the lower limiting groove extends along the movement direction of the moving baffle 300.

[0052] Figure 10 A schematic diagram of another embodiment of the motion baffle 300 according to the present invention is shown. Figure 11 It shows Figure 10 Cross-sectional view of the EE section of the central air intake panel. Figure 12 It shows Figure 11 A magnified view of a portion F in the center of the air intake panel. The drive assembly also includes a drive housing cover 430. See also... Figures 10 to 12 The drive box cover 430 is placed on the drive box body 420. The drive box cover 430 is provided with an upper limit pin 431. The moving block 340 is provided with an upper limit groove 342 with the slot facing upward. The upper limit pin 431 is inserted into the upper limit groove 342 to limit the moving baffle 300.

[0053] In some embodiments, the lower limiting groove extends along the movement direction of the moving baffle 300.

[0054] In some embodiments, the motion baffle 300 is connected to the air inlet panel body 100 and the drive assembly, respectively.

[0055] The connection between the motion baffle 300 and the air inlet panel body 100 is achieved through the sliding head 320 and the slide groove 510. The lower end of the motion baffle 300 is slidably mounted in the slide groove 510 of the motion slide groove component 500 on the air inlet panel body 100 with the sliding head 320 provided on the protrusion 330.

[0056] Specifically, the sliding head 320 includes multiple latches, each including an elastic arm 322 and a latch head 323. The latch head 323 is engaged in the corresponding slide groove 510, which can effectively prevent the lower end of the motion baffle 300 from deforming and causing the motion to jam.

[0057] The connection between the motion baffle 300 and the drive component is achieved on the one hand through the meshing of the motion rack 310 set on the inner wall of the motion baffle 300 and the drive gear 410 of the drive component, and on the other hand through the cooperation of the motion block 340 set on the motion baffle 300 and the drive component, thus ensuring the simplified assembly and reliability of the parts.

[0058] Specifically, the drive assembly includes a drive box body 420, a lower limit pin 421 is provided on the drive box body 420, a lower limit groove is provided on the moving block 340, and the lower limit pin 421 is inserted into the lower limit groove to limit the moving baffle 300.

[0059] Specifically, the drive assembly includes a drive box cover 430, on which an upper limit pin 431 is provided, and an upper limit groove 342 is provided on the moving block 340. The upper limit pin 431 is inserted into the upper limit groove 342 to limit the moving baffle 300.

[0060] Figure 15 A partially enlarged view of the air conditioner according to the present invention is shown. See also Figure 15 The filter assembly 200 has positioning buckles 210 and positioning pins 220 on its opposite side walls, and positioning holes and positioning bosses are provided on its opposite sides of the air inlet 110. The positioning pins 220 are inserted into the positioning holes and the positioning buckles 210 are locked onto the positioning bosses, which realizes the simplified assembly of the filter assembly 200 and saves the space occupied by the indoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0061] The free end of the positioning boss extends toward the inner side of the air inlet panel body 100, and / or the air inlet 110 is designed with a mounting boss, the positioning hole is set on the mounting boss, and the free end of the mounting boss extends toward the outer side of the air inlet panel body 100.

[0062] Figure 13 A partially enlarged view of the air conditioner according to the present invention is shown. Figure 14 A partially enlarged view of the air conditioner according to the present invention is shown. See also Figure 13 and Figure 14 The filter assembly 200 has a top limiting pin at the top and a bottom limiting pin at the bottom. The air inlet 110 has a top limiting hole 250 at the top for inserting the top limiting pin and a bottom limiting hole 260 at the bottom for inserting the bottom limiting pin.

[0063] In some embodiments, the filter assembly 200 is correspondingly disposed at the corresponding air inlet 110. The filter assembly 200 is assembled on the indoor unit of the air conditioner by connecting with the air inlet panel body 100, which can prevent the left and right sides of the filter assembly 200 from lifting and falling off.

[0064] The connection between the filter assembly 200 and the air inlet panel body 100 is achieved by positioning buckles 210 provided on the opposite side walls of the filter assembly 200 and positioning protrusions provided on the opposite side of the air inlet 110.

[0065] The connection between the filter assembly 200 and the air inlet panel body 100 is achieved by the positioning pins 220 provided on the opposite side walls of the filter assembly 200 being inserted into the positioning holes provided on the opposite side of the air inlet 110.

[0066] In some embodiments, the limiting pins provided on the opposite side walls of the filter assembly 200 and the limiting holes at corresponding positions on the air inlet panel body 100 can prevent the upper and lower ends of the filter assembly 200 from lifting and falling off.

[0067] Figure 2 A front view of an embodiment of an air conditioner according to the present invention is shown. Figure 3 A side view of the air inlet panel according to the invention is shown with the moving baffle in the closed air inlet state. Figure 4 A side view is shown of the movable baffle 300 of the air inlet panel according to the present invention in the open air inlet 110 state. See also Figures 2 to 4 The air intake panel body 100 includes a main body 120 and side panels 130 disposed on both sides of the main body 120, and each side panel 130 is provided with an air intake 110.

[0068] In some embodiments, an air inlet 110 is provided on each of the two side panels 130, replacing the traditional large-area grille-style air inlet 110. A movable baffle 300 is designed at the air inlet 110, which can be used to block or avoid the air inlet 110. When the movable baffle 300 avoids the air inlet 110, the baffle of the air duct component in the air conditioner is closed, and the air inlets 110 on the two side panels 130 are open. The incoming airflow can only enter the indoor unit through the air inlets 110 on the side panels 130, realizing the upward air outlet function of the air conditioner. When the movable baffle 300 blocks the air inlet 110, the baffle of the air duct component in the air conditioner is open, and the air inlets 110 on the two side panels 130 are closed. The incoming airflow can only enter the indoor unit from the top, realizing the downward air outlet function of the air conditioner.

[0069] In some embodiments, the air inlet panel structure 10 includes an air inlet panel body 100, a filter assembly 200, a moving baffle 300, and a drive assembly. The air inlet panel includes a main body 120 and a side body 130. An air inlet 110 is provided on the air inlet panel body 100, with positioning holes and positioning bosses respectively provided on opposite sides of the air inlet 110. A moving slide rail component 500 is provided on the air inlet panel body 100. The filter assembly 200 includes a positioning buckle 210 and a positioning pin 220. The moving baffle 300 includes a sliding head 320 and a moving block 340 disposed on the protrusion 330. The drive assembly includes a drive gear 410, a motor 440, a drive housing body 420, and a drive housing cover 430.

[0070] In some embodiments, the air conditioner includes an air inlet panel structure 10 and a fan structure disposed inside the air inlet panel structure 10, wherein the air inlet panel structure 10 is the air inlet panel structure 10 described in the above embodiments.

[0071] The air conditioner has multiple air outlets, and the multiple air outlets are arranged one-to-one with the multiple air inlets 110, so that the airflow entering from each air inlet 110 flows out from the corresponding air outlet after passing through the fan structure. When an air outlet is not in operation, the moving baffle 300 located at the corresponding air inlet 110 is in the closed state.

[0072] In some embodiments, the air conditioner's air outlet mode is either single top-mounted or single bottom-mounted. Different air intake methods are achieved by utilizing the movable baffle 300 to avoid and block the air inlet 110 on the side panel 130, thus realizing the single top-mounted and single bottom-mounted air outlet modes of the air conditioner. The single top-mounted and single bottom-mounted air outlet modes of the air conditioner allow cold air to reach the ground and hot air to warm the body, improving the comfort of the air conditioner. When the filter assembly 200 is not in operation, the movable baffle 300 blocks it, reducing the time the filter assembly 200 is in contact with dust in the environment, which can extend the cleaning time of the filter assembly 200 and reduce the frequency of cleaning.

[0073] In the first embodiment, when the air conditioner's air outlet mode is single top air outlet, the incoming airflow enters the indoor unit of the air conditioner from the air inlet 110 on the side panel 130. At this time, the moving baffle 300 at the air inlet 110 is in an open state to avoid the air inlet 110, so as to ensure the normal air intake of the indoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0074] In the second embodiment, when the air conditioner's air outlet mode is single-downward air outlet, the incoming airflow does not enter the indoor unit of the air conditioner from the air inlet 110 on the side panel 130. At this time, the moving baffle 300 at the air inlet 110 is in a closed state that blocks the air inlet 110, so as to prevent the filter assembly 200 from being in the environment and coming into contact with dust particles in the environment when it is not working, which would easily cause a large amount of dust to adhere.

[0075] In the description of this specification, references to the terms "some embodiments," "first embodiment," or "second embodiment" indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the invention. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0076] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0077] This invention features multiple air inlets 110 on the air inlet panel, with corresponding filter assemblies 200 positioned at each inlet 110. A movable baffle 300 is provided on the outer side of the filter assembly 200, allowing the baffle to either block or avoid the filter assembly 200. When the baffle blocks the filter assembly 200, it is concealed within the air inlet panel and cannot be seen from the environment, preventing dust accumulation. Conversely, when the baffle avoids the filter assembly 200, it becomes visible. This invention utilizes the movable baffle 300 to both block and avoid the filter assembly 200, ensuring normal airflow to the air conditioner while solving the problem of dust accumulation on filters in existing air conditioners.

[0078] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
